Insights from Former Tabcorp CEO Former Tabcorp CEO Elmer Funke Kupper recently voiced concerns regarding Australia’s regulatory framework for gambling advertising. He urged the Albanese Government to implement stricter measures to protect consumers, especially youth, from the potential harms of gambling ads. Kupper highlighted that recent studies reveal approximately 600,000 Australian teenagers aged 12 to 17 have gambled in the past year, despite existing bans on underage gambling.
